Goodbye Ruby Tuesday?

[U2girl91289]

I just heard my 1st concert version of Bad a few weeks ago, and I was wondering why Bono says"Goodbye Ruby Tuesday, who's gonna hang a name on you", etc. it's amazing, but i was wondering what it means because he only(as far as I know) sings it after Bad. This is a stupid question, but I've only been a fan for 3 years.Thanks

"Ruby Tuesday" is an old song by the Rolling Stones. Just one of those songs that Bono throws in at the end of "Bad." It was usually followed by a few lines from "Sympathy For the Devil" ("Pleased to meet you ... hope you guess my name...").

The Corrs also did a cover of "Ruby Tuesday," if you're interested.

Great song, by the way. I'm not a Stones fan, but that's one of of my favourites by anybody.

EDIT: If you've heard the Live Aid version, Bono tosses in a line from Satellite of Love by Lou Reed in the front and ends with a sorta improvised version of Walk On The Wild Side, also by Lou Reed. Our man has excellent taste!

Thanks! I was wondering about that. I had the satellite of love thing in my head all day today- even when i was sitting next to my crush. LOL

I love too the R&H video/Live Aid version of "Bad" with the additional snippets.

They suit the song so well!
